ALEKO Inflatable Hot Tub Spa | Personal High Powered Jetted Bubble | 145 Gallon | Black and White

So far so good. Took less than 24 hours to bring 47F well water up to 101F. Bubbles were much more powerful than expected. As expected our screen porch concrete floor is slanted away from the building for drainage and that does make the spa a bit unlevel. However, it does not affect operation. As previously reviewed the instructions are not clear on how to inflate so YouTube is your friend. We'll see how it lasts. We will spring for a real spa if this one gets enough use, but at this price point it's great to test for site and desired features. Update-We ran this tub on weekends in Minnesota until the end of October when we knew we wouldn't be able to bring it up to temp economically. We used very hard well water and had to clean the filters after about 100 hours of use, then replace completely after 3 cleanings. With test strips and Clorox brand chemicals purchased from Amazon, and filters ordered directly from the manufacturer, it was easy and inexpensive to keep the water balanced and clear. After owning a 6 person real hot tub at another home, and barely using it over 11 years we surprised ourselves at how much time we spent in this one. Liked it so much we've ordered a real 2 person hot tub from a local dealer. Bottom line-you're probably only going to get a year, possibly 2 out of this, but if you're not sure about investing in a hot tub for your site this is a good option to try before making a huge investment.

I have had portable hot tubs for years, I get that you get what you pay for ,but this experience was a eye opener for me. The price is right for the product for sure, I paid $400 for the tub. After 6 weeks of continuous use, my GFI outlet started to trip. I THOUGHT no problem I will plug in to a regular outlet, it has a GFI built in to the plug, ALL SEEMED good to go,running ,heating, Went to check temperature after a hour or so, heating up nicely according to the gauge, went to feel the water with my hand, and I got the SHOCK of a lifetime, LITERALLY! The tub wiring has gone bad some how internally? This tub is from CHINA! I don't know,conspiracy? Works out to $10.53 a day for 6 1/2weeks of usage. Now to the curb! No warranty, NO MORE PORTABLE JUNK for this family!

It been a few months and it’s been working great we keep ours at 100 and it’s plenty hot the filter when it get dirty I just wash it out with the garden hose and that get it pretty clean. I use a small chem floater and the keep it closed up almost all the way except the two holes on the bottom I set mine up on 2” hard foam boards from the hardware store that keeps it insulated and protected. I did unconnect the drain tube from the holder because it seemed it was getting too tight and pulled on the tube and the drain port. It’s just big enough for two adults and two small kids

This is set up outside in an enclosed space on a patio. The hot tub heats well once going, I recommend filling with hot water if you want it to get hot faster- once hot. It’s remained hot in our over night lows of 40. It did get two leaks in the first 48 hours. So sweep, sweep again, blow, sweep again. It weighs approximately 1200lbs when full- so truly princess and the pea. The bubbler works great. The cover works well and can lock. Ours did not come with patch glue. Chemicals are hard to balance at first. Take your time. Filter system isn’t as you would think, waaaay simpler. The filter also doesn’t creat any “swirling” effect. Maybe minor movements to just pull a little water through. be careful that when you put the water in, the tub does get wider. Also the drain does not connect to a standard hose - I had to create a syphon to get water out. All the attachment areas are on the long side(didn’t work great for our setup). All in all good little tub. I have a good score just highlighted the challenges. For the money (1/4-1/6 the price of a hard side hot tub) it is worth a try.

It has a lot more bubbles then I thought it would have but it shuts down after 10 or 15 min then you have to reset it I wish it would just go till I was done

Easy to inflate and fill, heats up to temp at about 3 degrees an hour. Very sturdy and lots of room for two people. Filters are reasonably priced. Its nice for the price.

Bad temperature control.

I like the simplicity of how this hot tube works. Plus it really looks great!
